Thank you- Mojo Monday/3 Shades of Green

This card is definitely busier then my normal style, but I've had so much fun with all these challenges that I think it's worthwhile to test myself from time to time. Watch tomorrow's cards will all be white and white and white? This card uses the Mojo Monday sketch. It's also for the City Crafter & 365 cards "Three Shades of Green" color challenges. And since I used vellum, again, I'm going to enter this in The Character Cafe challenge (they must be getting sick of me!). I just realized I forgot the star- it got swallowed up in the mess on my craft table... oh well, I tried... I'm sure I'll use the star for another card, that is when I find it.

Materials: Cosmo Cricket Early Riser patterned paper and sticker, Fiskars circle punch, Fiskars shape cutter/star pattern, vellum, Hero Arts thank you sentiment,

Black, white, red thank you

An elegant thank you card using the Taylored Expressions sketch. I am so impressed by all the comments I got on my other 3 flowers card from the Speedy Cat challenge, that I'm going to enter this one in the Mark's Finest Papers challenge (the 3 flowers are kinda hiding, but they're there). Aly's Sunday Challenge is to use flowers. Crafty Creations wants to the cards to "shine" and this black and white paper has got sparkly glitter and looks amazing in the light. Corrosive Challenge is celebrating flowers. Character Cafe is challenges us to use vellum.

Materials: cool black and white paper from my stash, Stampin Up red card stock, black card stock, vellum, white card stock, Stampin Up sentiment, Stampin Up square scallop punch, Fiskars Rotary scallop cutter

Winter Wonderland

Daring Cardmakers is hosting a winter themed challenge this week and I thought that was a nice change from all these summer contests! (It helps that I've been skiing for the first time this winter and it's very, very cold in my little winter world). The sketch is from clean & simple stamping. I stamped the snowflakes on white card stock and vellum which works for the Character Cafe challenge with vellum.

Materials: Stampendous snowflake stamp, E-1953 snowflake stamp, Studio G sentiment, black card stock, white card stock, vellum, silver ink, Fiskars rotary cutter with deckle blade
